The New York Knicks’ star, Jalen Brunson, seems to have a talent for attracting pranks from his teammates. Remember that wild moment back in December 2025 when Josh Hart playfully poked Brunson during the NBA CUP victory celebration?
Well, just when you thought things couldn’t get more entertaining, another classic moment has emerged. In a recent game, the 29-year-old, sidelined and dressed in casual wear while recovering from an injury, found himself the unsuspecting target of yet another prank.
In a comical twist, Jeremy Sochan couldn’t resist pinching Brunson’s chest, leaving the rest of the team in stitches.

It’s hard to tell if these antics are all in good fun or if Brunson truly is their favorite target for lighthearted mischief. But one thing’s for sure—there’s never a dull moment with the Knicks.
Jalen Brunson’s stellar 30-point performance brought the Knicks a thrilling 110-107 victory over the Warriors, but his night took a turn with a neck strain and ankle injury. Although the point guard had to sit out against the Pacers, his teammates didn’t miss a beat.
Josh Hart, Karl-Anthony Towns, and OG Anunoby combined forces to dominate, sealing a commanding 136-110 win. Now, the Knicks are gearing up for a showdown with the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center, and the buzz surrounding Brunson’s recovery is getting fans excited on social media.

At present, Brunson is listed as day-to-day, and there has been no official confirmation regarding his return for the next game. Meanwhile, the Knicks are performing exceptionally well in the 2025-26 NBA season. Their recent win marked their fourth consecutive victory, and they currently hold the third spot in the Eastern Conference standings with a record of 45 wins and 25 losses.
